African New Towns by Rachel Keeton

“…This research contributes to the existing body of literature on contemporary African New Towns (Watson 2014; Murray 2017; Van Noorloos and Kloosterboer 2018; Keeton and Provoost 2019). Notably, most authors working on this topic primarily employ internet sources or a single case study to build their arguments, which can be problematic in the African context where remotely-sourced data is often unreliable and New Towns as a group exhibit vast divergences that may limit the transferability of results from individual case studies. …”

Coronary atherosclerosis screening in asymptomatic adults using coronary artery calcium for cardiovascular prevention: a systematic review of randomised controlled trials and prosp... by Manuel R Blum, Nicolas Rodondi, Baris Gencer, Christoph Gräni, Victor Scheu, Louhai Alwan

“…Key limitations of this review reflect the limited availability of evidence and include the omission of potential harms of CACS screening, study heterogeneity, insufficient data on clinical events, a lack of economic assessments and the moderate to high risk of bias in most studies.Conclusions CACS screening with a CACS-guided intervention might have a favourable effect on CV risk factor control and potentially on adherence to CV medication and increased motivation to change lifestyle in populations at intermediate to high risk. …”
